REVIEWS:

Sink - Read my reply to Reflect - that'll help out some. And the web-site has more in-depth scenes LOL Thanks for the FB on the other two stories. I'm starting to hit Family hot and heavy now that I've finished This one. Working some on A Witch in LA when I need a break from Family. I'll probably start a sequel to this story in a few weeks. I'll see what I'm doing then! LOL

Just - You just want me to give you all the answers, don't you? LOL Big Bad Willow will be taken care of in this story. Next story will have a certain Bleached Blonde Vampire that it will be centered around plus some additional goodies - got ideas but haven't started writing it. I'm working more heavily on my Family story and A Witch in LA story - (Family is a lot longer - I think I'm up around 40 chapters writing rough draft on it. Of course I started it first.)

Whiro - Glad you're enjoying the stories! Yum factor is obviously up to standard. Good thing I'm not like some of these other writers that only update once every couple months, huh? You would be really grumpy if that happened! LOL

Reflect - I'm sorry it's looking like more of a Tara/Faith pairing - but because those two are being thrown together more because of the situation a lot of the writing is pointing towards them. Plus there is the fact out of all of them Faith is the one that needs the emotional stability the most.Which is, to me, Tara's forte. This chapter will bring some other things too light that might help explain a bit better, also. But Buffy (In my little world) understands and gives the two women time, knowing they love her and she'll more than have her day. (Of course I'm not getting with all the time they have together or the story would never move along - so hopefully this helps instead of confuses matters ! LOL)

CHAPTER 20

"Well, she couldn't get out of the house fast enough." Faith smirks towards Buffy and Tara.

"What? We didn't do anything." Buffy looks at the smirking Faith. "We behaved ourselves the whole ride home."

"That's because Dawn sat between you two while I sat in the front seat!" Faith grins. "I don't think Squirt trusts us in public together."

Tara smirks at Faith. "That's because you two are always horny."

"Am not!" Buffy grumbles. "I've just got two hot girlfriends that know all kinds of interesting things to do to me and show me. Plus the fact I have a lot of time to make up for."

"Horny." Tara states grinning.

"Well, that explains B. What about me?" Faith grins from ear to ear.

"So, you don't have two hot girlfriends that do all kinds of interesting things to you? That don't make you pant and squirm when they kiss, touch and nibble all over your body?" Tara whispers walking slowly around Faith.

Buffy grins watching the wicked look crossing Tara's face. "Oh, you are so in trouble" Buffy states to Faith.

Faith smirks "I like being in this kind of trouble." Faith groans out as Tara pulls her tight against her, attacking the back of her neck. Reaching up to cup her breasts and firmly squeezing them Tara grins as she hears the low guttural moan coming from Faith.

"Do you like that?" Tara murmurs nibbling on the slayer's ear. "You said something about rough and tumble earlier? I would think you two…" Tara grins at Buffy "would have enough rough and tumble between you."

Buffy smirks easing up in front of Faith, wrapping her arms around both women, keeping eye contact with Tara. "That may be the case, however there's something about sweet, soft, innocent Tara going all Alpha Female that does something extra for me."

Faith nods her head "Couldn't have said it better myself." Faith growls out. "Of course we are coming to realize she ain't quite as innocent as we thought, huh, B?"

"What are you trying to say, Faith?" Tara murmurs in the dark slayer's ear before biting down on the slayer's shoulder. Hearing Faith groan loudly, Tara grins before licking the area gently.

Buffy chuckles "Be careful Faith. You're gonna end up getting yourself in serious trouble if you're not careful."

"No, no. I'm just sayin' that with her beautiful blue eyes, the innocent look she always seems to have about her…" Faith trails off as Tara pinches her nipples roughly through her clothes. "Feels so good." Faith groans out lowly. "She does an excellent job of pleasing us and has a wicked sense of humor no one else would believe."

"And let's not forget the absolutely scrumptious body that she has kept hidden away all these years." Buffy runs her hands down Tara's back to cup her ass, squeezing gently.

Faith growls wrapping a hand around Buffy's neck pulling her in for a deep, searching kiss. Feeling Tara run her hands down and cupping her intimately, Faith groans into the kiss.

Tara grins as she moves her other hand to cup Buffy through her clothes at the same time, making both women push against her hands and each other.

"You know with you two, I really wish I had more hands." Tara whispers, running one hand up Buffy's body to tweak a nipple, while using the other hand to press hard against Faith through her jeans.

Buffy pulls back out of the kiss, panting hard. "I believe I promised you something in the store."

Tara smirks at Buffy "Yes, you did. However I believe it was after we went to The Bronze tonight was your phrasing. So you two are mine this afternoon and evening."

"That is so not fair." Buffy grumps easing out of Faith's arms looking at the two women. "How about you use and abuse devil child here." Buffy smirks at Faith. "And I can do all kinds of wicked things to you at the same time?"

"Who are you calling devil child?" Faith growls out, pulling Buffy back in to her body, turning her around so Buffy's back is pressed tight against her front. "I think we need to teach little miss perfect here a lesson, Blondie. What do you think?"

"Hmmm. A - teach Buffy a lesson. B - completely drive Faith to a big soppy mess. Decisions, decisions." Tara murmurs out loud.

Just then the phone rings and all three women groan at the interruption. "I'll get it." Buffy growls lowly.

"Hello?…Hi Anya…You did?…I thought the blood thing was going to be extremely hard to get?…Anya, you are wonderful. I'll be there to pick up the ingredients…How much was it?…Damn that was expensive, but if it works it'll be well worth it…I'll be there in a little while… Thanks again." Buffy hangs up grinning ear to ear before turning to her lovers. "Anya has come through. And you weren't kidding when you said the ingredients would be expensive, I didn't expect them to cost $300!"

"Unfortunately they're extremely rare, hence the price. I need another ingredient for that also, but she should have it in stock, let me get the list." Tara runs upstairs quickly grabbing the list and double-checking to make sure she has all the other ingredients before writing down dried horned toad.

Tara quickly descends the staircase smirking at her two lovers making out on the couch. Sitting down in the chair across from them, she shakes her head slightly. 'Goddess, they are beautiful.' Tara thinks to herself.

Faith pushes Buffy onto her back on the couch and settles her body on top of the other slayer kissing her deeply while pushing up Buffy's shirt to pinch her nipple roughly.

"Faith…" Buffy groans out arching into the dark slayer. "Feels good."

"You are beautiful." Faith mutters as she works her way down Buffy's neck before licking across a hard nipple. Running her hands down Buffy's sides Faith quickly unbuttons and unzips her pants. Wiggling her fingers inside the jeans, Faith groans loudly at the wetness she finds. "Want you."

"Have me." Buffy huskily growls out arching into Faith's hand. Reaching down to help Faith shove her clothes the rest of the way off her body, Buffy moans loudly as Faith nips lightly up the inside of her thighs.

Faith growls low in her throat seeing the juices gathered on Buffy's outer lips. Leaning in lapping up the overflowing nectar Faith can't hold back and dives in, quickly making Buffy's hips jump up into her. "Oh, yeah." Faith moans setting up a quick, fast paced, rhythm.

Buffy rocks her hips hard against Faith's thrusting. Groaning, she opens her eyes and sees Tara watching them from the chair. Catching the witch's eyes Buffy whispers "Come here."

Quickly standing up and walking over to the couch, Tara kneels down pulling Buffy's head up and kissing her thoroughly. "Goddess, I love you." Tara whispers before hungrily attacking her mouth again. Licking and nipping at the slayer's lips, Tara moans in pleasure as Buffy tugs her nipple through her clothes. Kissing her way down Buffy's neck to her breasts, Tara gently bites down on her nipple.

Buffy screams "FAITH!" as she climaxes, arching up hard. After a few moments, her body crashes back onto the couch, her legs shaking and panting heavily.

Faith eases away from Buffy, barely having time to lift up from the blonde slayer before she's attacked by Tara's lips and tongue.

Tara groans at the taste of Buffy on Faith. Pulling away after thoroughly cleaning Faith's lips and chin she looks deeply in Faith's eyes. "I love you." Tara whispers before gently kissing the dark slayer.

Buffy groans watching the soft kiss between the two women. "You know there is something seriously wrong with this picture." Buffy murmurs looking down at her shirt that's shoved up to her neck and nothing else on while both her lovers are still fully dressed.

Tara giggles as she pulls away from Faith. "Is she upset that we aren't naked also?"

Faith chuckles looking at Buffy. "I'm not sure. What's so wrong about this picture?"

"Well you two being naked, would be a good start. But the fact that I still have my top on - or at least partially on and nothing else! It's just wrong, somehow." Buffy grumbles.

Tara smiles at Faith before leaning down and placing a kiss on Buffy's tanned muscular stomach. "But there's just something decadent about being half dressed and being taken. Don't you think, Faith?"

Faith smirks as she watches Tara kiss and lick across Buffy's stomach. "Oh, yeah. Definitely a turn on." Running her hand up the witch's leg before cupping her butt cheek in her hand. "I'm gonna throw away the rest of your clothes" Faith growls lowly.

Moaning at the strong hand firmly clasping her ass Tara licks around Buffy's belly button. "Can I at least keep a few - I can't live in jeans and leathers all the time." Tara inhales deeply as Buffy reaches down pushing her shirt and bra up to pinch her nipple.

"Damn." Buffy frowns. "I need to go and get the ingredients for the spell. The sooner it's done the better." Smiling slightly looking at Tara with her shirt pushed up and one breast uncovered with Faith nipping at her neck from behind. "I see what you mean. It is sexy. Very, very sexy."

Blushing slightly Tara shakes her head. "I don't know about you two."

Buffy smirks and leans up kissing her tenderly before standing and grabbing her clothes. "I'm going to go get the ingredients. You two try and not break anything, okay?"

"Hey! I don't break things, that's usually you two." Tara smiles watching Buffy get dressed.

"It didn't happen on purpose." Faith mutters distractedly. "That dresser looked sturdier than it was." Faith works the witch's shirt all the way off before unhooking her bra and easing it down off her arms.

Buffy's eyes darken with desire watching as Faith gently disrobes the witch. "I have got to go. If not, we won't get the ingredients."

Faith just nods her head as she lightly runs her fingertips over the blondes back, making Tara arch into the feather-light caress.

Tara looks up with dark blue eyes at Buffy before groaning at the gentle touches. "Be careful."

"I will. Love you, two." Buffy smiles softly before heading to the Magic Box.

"Faith?" Tara groans out lowly at the soft tender touches of the dark slayer. Usually the woman wasn't this soft and tender. There was a forcefulness to her touches, nothing that was in the slightest bit painful, it's just the way the beautiful woman is.

Faith quickly stands up and pulls Tara into a soft embrace, kissing her gently before picking her up and quickly carrying her to their bedroom. Setting her on her feet by the bed, Faith kneels down sliding off her boots and socks before reaching up unbuttoning and unzipping the leather pants to ease them over the blonde's hips and down the beautiful silken legs.

"Faith, what are you doing?" Tara whispers and closes her eyes as the dark slayer places a gentle kiss on her mound.

Standing till she's looking into the lovely blue eyes of the witch, Faith smiles the softest gentlest smile and kisses her gently on the lips. "I'm gonna make sweet, slow, gentle love to you. That's what I'm doin'."

Feeling her knees give out, Tara falls back on the bed at the depth of emotion showing in the dark slayer's eyes. "Oh, Goddess."

Faith quickly disrobes before easing Tara to the middle of the bed, gently settling her body on top of the beautiful blonde. Kissing the Wicca softly, gently stroking her tongue over the blonde's lips. Easing her tongue in to stroke softly over the witch's, making both women moan into each others mouths. Slowly kissing her way along the blonde's jaw line to her ear, sucking on the soft sensitive skin behind her ear, that literally melts the witch. Smiling to herself at the moans and whimpers coming from Tara, Faith works her way down her neck, lightly kissing and licking before reaching the tender skin where it meets her shoulder.

"This spot right here draws me. I could spend hours kissing, licking, sucking and nibbling this spot." Faith huskily groans out before gently sucking the skin in her mouth. Releasing it before leaving a mark, Faith continues "Of course, there are other places that I can enjoy for hours. Do you realize how much you have changed my life? Changed the way I look at the world in such a short period of time?" Faith looks up, a tear slipping from her eye as she looks into the blue depths. Smiling softly as Tara reaches up and tenderly wipes the tear away. "I don't know how or why, but I know you mean the world to me and Buffy both. I want to show you how much."

Tara cups the slayer behind the head, tugging her down for a passionate kiss. "I love you. I love both you and Buffy with my whole heart." Tara sucks gently on the slayer's full bottom lip before releasing it and placing a kiss on the cleft of her chin. "And I personally don't know what I have done to deserve your love, but I thank whatever deity for giving me this precious gift." Tara whispers hoarsely before kissing Faith strongly, rolling her tongue round the slayer's, battling gently against each other as she reaches down and cups the muscular cheeks of Faith's ass, kneading them firmly.

Faith growls as she pulls back, letting the witch breathe. "You deserve the very best. You make me feel like I deserve to be loved. Between you and Buffy…" Faith smiles "You've given me something I never thought I would have. Thank you."

Tara groans loudly as Faith quickly shifts down placing soft, butterfly kisses down her neck. Running her hands up to thread them gently in the dark curls, Tara arches into the slayer's touch as she lightly runs her fingers under her breasts, lightly tickling the sensitive skin. "Goddess, Faith." Tara moans as Faith finally kisses her way down to her breasts, flicking her tongue gently over her nipples, before trailing wet, loving kisses down her ribs to her belly button, gently kissing around the new piercing.

"You are absolutely gorgeous." Faith murmurs, wanting so much to flick her tongue in the witch's belly button, but knowing right now, that she has to refrain.

Bucking her hips up into Faith, Tara growls out "Please, Faith."

Smiling at the witch's reactions, Faith lightly licks across her lower abdomen. "Uh,uh. I'm in charge." Faith mutters as she kisses the slight indention where Tara's legs and hip join, making Tara jerk hard. Smelling the arousal, so strong and mouth watering, Faith growls loudly as she shifts down, seeing the nectar oozing from the witch. "Do you have any idea how amazing you are?" Faith groans, running a finger along the damp lips, collecting the overflowing juices, chuckling as the witch tries to push against her fingers. "Stop that, or I'll make you wait even longer."

"Faith!" Tara groans loudly, her body wound tight from the gentle touches and kisses. Her body rocking of it's own accord, looking for release. Grasping the slayer's head tightly with one hand and gripping the covers in the other hand, Tara grunts as Faith lightly runs her fingers over her.

"You are so mine." Faith whispers as she quickly leans in. Groaning into the witch's body, Faith isn't surprised that, that is all it takes for the witch to climax. Continuing the sucking and searching out the witch's g-spot, Faith grins to herself as Tara arches hard into her.

Tara feels the orgasm building in her body, realizing Faith is going to get drenched, trying to form a coherent sentence, Tara pants out "going…come…FAITH!" Tara screams out Faith's name as the orgasm rips through her body, bowing up and lifting the slayer with her, Tara feels her world explode in a multitude of colors, before collapsing back on the bed.

Faith growls as she quickly starts licking up the sweet juices coming from the witch as she explodes. Easing her fingers out, Faith licks up her thighs, collecting all the sweet nectar she can. "God you taste so good." Faith hoarsely gets out as she finishes licking up all the juices she can find before easing her way back up the witches body, still twitching with the aftershocks of her climax. Leaving her lower body nestled between the witch's thighs, Faith lays her upper body gently over the witch and rests her head on her breasts. Running her hands up the sides of Tara, to play with the gentle swells.

Panting heavily, Tara finally has enough strength to wrap her arms around Faith, squeezing her tightly. "Goddess, the things you do to me, Faith." Tara chuckles lowly, then groans as another aftershock works its way through her body, making her hips push up slightly.

Faith places a kiss on first one breast, then the other. "I'll be happy to do things to you all the time, if you want." Faith smirks looking up at her lover.

Tara smiles at Faith and shakes her head. "No, we can't have that. If you're always doing things to me, Buffy might get upset. Then there's the fact that I want to do all kinds of things to both of you." Leaning down and kissing the slayer's forehead she smiles softly. "Now, do you want to come up here? Or do you want to roll over?" Tara smirks at the wording, so close to what the slayer had said to her such a short time ago.

Faith grins as she places kisses along the witch's chest. Slowly working her way up her neck and running her tongue between the blonde's lips to slowly twine their tongues together. Finally pulling away, panting slightly, Faith growls as Tara pinches her nipples firmly between her thumb and forefingers before twisting sharply.

"Yes!" Faith hisses out in pleasure at the rough treatment.

"Is this what you want?" Tara growls out. "Do you want me to take you?" Pulling the slayer down so that she can whisper in her ear "Do you want me to fuck you?"

Faith cries out "Fuck yes!" as she feels her sex clenching in response to that soft, honey voice saying such words.

Tara smirks as she runs a hand down the slayer's stomach to run her hand through the wetness literally dripping from the slayer. Bringing her coated fingers up, she covers the slayer's breast with the spicy goodness before shifting her body down to suck as much of the breast as she can in her mouth. Growling low in her throat as Faith pushes into her, Tara pulls back slightly till she captures the dark slayers nipple between her teeth and bites down firmly at the same time quickly sliding three fingers deep in the slayer, starting a fast punishing rhythm.

Faith groans at the double pleasure, rocking her body into the hard thrusts of the witch. Faith arches her body, burying her head in the pillow. Muttering "Oh, fuck yeah. Just like that."

Tara grins before nipping her way to the slayer's other nipple, scraping her teeth across it before sucking it into her mouth, flicking her tongue repeatedly over the hardened nub. Quickly adding her pinky to the other three fingers and circling her thumb over the swollen muscle.

Feeling the added fullness and then the firm pressure rubbing over her, it's too much for the slayer and she screams out the witch's name as she climaxes hard. Clenching down on the fingers inside her, Faith partially collapses on top of the witch. Her arms no longer able to support her. Her body trembling with the pleasure shooting through her, Faith groans low in her throat as Tara eases her fingers out. Gathering enough strength, Faith pushes herself off the witch to lay beside her, trying to catch her breath.

Tara shifts her body up to lay beside the slayer, running her fingertips down the slayer's neck before leaning in and licking the salty skin behind the her ear. Smiling slightly as she shivers at the caress. Flicking the earlobe with her tongue before sucking it into her mouth, Tara moans as she releases the lobe, "I love you. And you know what?" Tara asks as she licks down the slayer's neck, running her tongue around a swiftly hardening nipple before shifting further down. Easing her body between Faith's thighs, Tara growls out "I haven't gotten my fill yet" before diving in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Buffy whistles as she walks to the Magic Box. Smiling to herself, she thinks about Tara and Faith. Those two are absolutely gorgeous. Seeing the way Faith was acting, she figures Tara is in for some very thorough loving. It's amazing how much Faith has come out of her shell. Occasionally she'll notice the brunette trying to close herself off, as she thinks about her past but Tara always seems to be aware when it's happening and with just a look or a touch she's able to bring Faith out.

Realizing that Tara does the same thing for her, Buffy shakes her head in wonder. She's their light in this world of darkness and evil.

Walking into the Magic Box, she smiles at Anya. "Hello, Anya. How are you doing on this wonderful afternoon?"

Anya tilts her head looking at the extremely happy Buffy. "Gay love seems to agree with you. I am happy for you."

Buffy rolls her eyes but smiles "Yes, it does. Thank you Anya." Walking up to the counter, she sees the small package. "This the ingredients?"

Anya nods her head "Yes. Did you need anything else?"

"Hmmm. Yes, Tara gave me a note with something toad on it." Buffy reaches into her pocket pulling out the note. "Dried horned toad."

Anya nods her head turning around and getting the jar down. "Have you heard any more from Willow?"

"No. Have you or Xander talked with her?" Buffy asks curiously.

"Xander finally got her to answer her door yesterday. She wouldn't talk to him. He said she looked…" Anya tilts her head trying to remember the word he used. "She looked insane. He said her eyes were solid black. He's scared of her." Anya looks at the slayer with sad eyes. "I think he finally realizes in his heart that she isn't his best friend anymore. The magic has become her life."

Shaking her head sadly Buffy reaches for the money. "I just don't understand how she had Tara's love and she chose magic over her." Looking up at Anya, Buffy smiles softly. "Tara is the most caring, understanding and loving person in the world. She balances us, makes us whole."

Anya nods her head. "She has the gift. She's a rare witch that actually calms and helps people just by being around them. Makes me wonder when Willow would have went completely crazy, if she hadn't been around. The total is $315.75."

Buffy looks at the demon in shock. "You mean she helps everyone by just being around them?"

"Yes. Her natural calm, the fact that she is obviously a very strong witch and that she is balanced so well in the side of good. I wouldn't be surprised if she was touched by the Goddess herself." Anya nods her head in agreement with herself. "It hasn't happened in the last 400 years, but it is always a possibility."

"Anya, what the hell are you talking about?" Buffy questions heatedly.

"Rarely a White witch will be touched at birth by the Goddess. She fights on the side of good, and if she aligns herself with other forces of good, she can become the vessel for the Goddess." Anya accepts the money from Buffy's slack hand.

"What does it mean to become the vessel of the Goddess?" Buffy asks in a scared tone. "And what happened to the last witch that was touched by the Goddess?"

"The vessel becomes the living embodiment of the Goddess. Whatever the will of the Goddess is, that is what is done." Shrugging her shoulders at Buffy. "The last witch was murdered before becoming the embodiment. So who knows what exactly can happen. I don't think anyone knows what she is capable of. Being the embodiment of the Goddess means having her powers and strength. What they are, only the Goddess herself knows."

Buffy moves to the table and sits down hard on a chair. "Anya, is there any way to tell for sure if…" Buffy trails off making eye contact with the ex-vengeance demon.

"There are signs, but nothing before she becomes the full embodiment, or dies - there's something about the Goddess taking her chosen one with her in that case. Tara does have the signs." Anya looks at the slayer with a considering glance. "Buffy, there is nothing you can do if she is the vessel."

"What are the signs?" Buffy asks quietly.

"It won't change who she is , Buffy. She'll just be more…Goddess like." Anya smirks slightly. "You can say you've been given orgasms by an actual Goddess, not many people can say that."

"Anya, please." Buffy blushes slightly. "Tell me what the signs are."

"A good heart, takes other peoples feelings above her own, very self effacing, won't hurt another, unless someone she considers family, or loves is in danger. Extremely powerful, forgiving and loving, but also can exact vengeance. Everything you would expect a Goddess to be. A hereditary witch, which is extremely hard to find after the witch trials. That is what I know. I'm sure there are other things, but that's what I remember." Anya looks at Buffy appraisingly. "It doesn't mean she is, Buffy."

"Yes, but I have this deep seeded feeling in my gut that you're going to be right, Anya." Buffy whispers quietly.

"You should talk to Giles. He might have more information. How did he react when you told him about your new orgasm buddies?" Anya smiles.

Turning pale and her eyes widening, Buffy just opens her mouth and closes it a couple times. Looking away she mutters "I haven't told him yet. Kind of a hard thing to explain over the phone."

"Personally I think it would be easier telling him over the phone instead of waiting till you're face to face. After all if he says 'Dear Lord' too many times, you can always hang up on him." Anya seriously states.

Chuckling at the ex-vengeance demon, Buffy finally smiles. "You may have a point, Anya."

Anya smiles happily before walking over to the phone and brining it back to hand to the slayer. "No time like the present."

Buffy takes a deep breath looking at the phone before dialing the number to Giles in England.

"Giles, I'm sorry, did I wake you?…Yes, I kind of got to talk to you about something, but I can call back at a better time if you want me to…If you're sure…Yes I understand, since you're awake now." Buffy rolls her eyes. "Umm, actually I have a couple things I need to talk to you about…Okay I'll get on with it. Anya and I were talking about a vessel of the Goddess. Do you have any information for me on this?…Giles please, for once can you give me the information without playing twenty questions?…" Buffy listens as Giles tells her what he knows. "Is that all the information you have?…Well that's pretty much what Anya said, I was hoping you might know what happens when the witch becomes the embodiment of the Goddess…Can you maybe look into it for me?…I would definitely appreciate it. Have you found anything else out that can help us with Willow?…Yes I know you were going to call if you got any information, but I was kind of hoping…No, that wasn't the other thing I was wanting to talk to you about….Ummm." Buffy hesitates taking a deep breathe. "Are you sitting down?…I know, it just isn't something I can blurt out, Giles!…Damn it Giles! I'm in love. That's what I want to tell you…Ummm, no not so much…It's kind of unconventional, actually very unconventional. Giles…Okay, I'll just say it. I'm in love with Tara and Faith…" Buffy closes her eyes waiting for Giles to blast her. When all she hears is silence on the other end she wait's a few more moments. "Giles?" Buffy asks questioningly. Her eyes widen as she hears his response. "What the hell?…What do you mean you had a feeling?…Not another damn prophesy!…No I don't want to hear about it! All the prophecy's say I'm going to die. I've died twice and I am so not going to do it again! Well that's a change... WHAT? Not while I'm alive it isn't!…Like the prophesies ever come true the way you think they will…I don't know, but I need to head home so we can go out on patrol…Thanks for not freaking out….Yes you did surprise me…I've got to get home. Thank you Giles, be sure to call me when you get more information." Buffy disconnects the phone, contemplating the conversation she just had with Giles.

Anya looks at Buffy "So, things basically went well? What was the prophesy about?"

Buffy looks up from her thoughts. "I'll tell you later. I need to get home, God, I have this feeling that something big is going to happen soon and I just can't shake it. Thanks Anya." Buffy quickly hangs up the phone and strides out of the shop.
